Abstract
This invention relates to a roofing, cladding, or siding module, comprising an underlapping region extending from a head edge of the module and an exposed region extending from a foot edge of the module. The length of the foot edge defining the length of the module. The underlapping region is adapted to be substantially covered by the exposed region of an adjacent or overlapping module when installed on a building surface. The module is formed of at least one layer of extruded material. The layer so formed comprises at least 40% w/w filler and/or reinforcement, and one or more polymer(s).
Claims26
A roofing, cladding, or siding module, comprising:
- an underlapping region extending from a head edge of the module and an exposed region extending from a foot edge of the module, the length of the foot edge defining the length of the module,
- wherein the underlapping region is adapted to be substantially covered by the exposed region of an adjacent or overlapping module when installed on a building surface,
- wherein the module is formed of at least one layer of extruded material, wherein the layer so formed comprises:
- at least 40% w/w filler and reinforcement or at least 40% w/w reinforcement, and one or more polymer(s),
- wherein the reinforcement comprises one or more non-conductive natural or synthetic fibres, and wherein the layer so formed comprises at least 6% w/w of said one or more non-conductive natural or synthetic fibres, and wherein the fibres are aligned along the length of the module;
- and wherein the module comprises a plurality of formed surfaces molded along the length of the module, each of the formed surfaces comprising at least one three-dimensional surface feature.
A roofing, cladding, or siding module, comprising:
- an underlapping region extending from a head edge of the module and an exposed region extending from a foot edge of the module, the length of the foot edge defining the length of the module,
- wherein the underlapping region is adapted to be substantially covered by the exposed region of an adjacent or overlapping module when installed on a building surface,
- wherein the module is formed of at least one layer of extruded material, wherein the layer so formed comprises:
- at least 40% w/w filler and/or reinforcement, and
- one or more polymer(s),
- wherein at least the or a portion of a top surface of the exposed region is colored or treated in a manner so as to yield a visually observable color, by applying a colored material onto at least a portion of the top surface of a top layer, either before or after one or more layers are joined together;
- and wherein the module comprises a plurality of formed surfaces molded along the length of the module, each of the formed surfaces comprising at least one three-dimensional surface feature.
A roofing, cladding, or siding module, comprising:
- an underlapping region extending from a head edge of the module and an exposed region extending from a foot edge of the module, the length of the foot edge defining the length of the module,
- wherein the underlapping region is adapted to be substantially covered by the exposed region of an adjacent or overlapping module when installed on a building surface,
- wherein the module is formed of at least one layer of extruded material, wherein the layer so formed comprises:
- at least 40% w/w filler and reinforcement or at least 40% w/w reinforcement, and one or more polymer(s), the one or more polymer(s) comprising a foamed polymer,
- wherein the reinforcement comprises one or more non-conductive natural or synthetic fibres, and wherein the layer so formed comprises at least 6% w/w of said one or more non-conductive natural or synthetic fibres, and wherein the fibres are aligned along the length of the module;
- and wherein the module comprises a plurality of formed surfaces molded along the length of the module, each of the formed surfaces comprising at least one three-dimensional surface feature.
